In the last chapter we saw eria and company arrive in argus to get to windpath but the train was having issues. Along with that it seems dravan will be meeting his family very belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum. I own the OC's, AU. Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 64:Hayley Brothers Reunite
Their entire group were now on their way toward the hayley residents as calida lead them to the house. But the entire time over their she wouldn't stop gushing over luna as the blonde kept cooing holding her.
"Aww aren't you the most adorable little faunus on remnant"calida cooed holding the bat faunus in the air as she just stared at her bleeping. Calida squealed a little as she hugged the girl.
Verona chuckled"heh guess you took to having a niece quickly"she said
"Why wouldn't i? Because look how adorable she is although…"calida begun before she handed luna back to her mother. Then immediately she hugged dravan for the tenth time on the way here. The jackal faunus sighed returning it again.
"I'm so happy your alive"calida cried again as eria blankly stared at her but smiled slightly. Because she didn't find rogue but instead their not so dead uncle which was nice.
"Heh thank over here, she and qrow managed to find me half dead in the woods"dravan said as ravan nodded as she saw a few people staring at them on their walk to the house.
"Yes, hes lucky we found him before he passed on"ravan replied as calida undid the embrace from her brother in law smiling at raven.
"Well i gotta thank the mighty team member of team SRTQ then"calida said smiling as the women chuckled at that.
"It was no problem at all, it as just one more good deed in our world"ravan simply replied
"Yeah well she been a great host, helped us keep this one in check"yang said gesturing to adam who looked a little nervous it seems. Calida looked at him for a moment because the women was very weary of him. They were reaching the front of the house soon but motioned for them to stop.
"Hmm about that when we get inside were going to discuss why a terrorist is with you. "Calida said as she took her keys out of her pocket then handed them to her daughter. It confused her but calida then snatch luna to keep cooing over her.
Eria just rolled her eyes because she forgot her mother liked small and cute things.
"Alright mother i'll unlock the door and welcome our guest inside"eria coldly said as she went to the door putting the key in. she twisted the lock but right as she did a brown blur tackled the poor girl onto the ground. All of them looked as eria slowly groaned opening her eyes, she went wide eyed.
A small yorkie was ontop of her licking her face that had brown and black fur. But a collar was on their throat of her family symbol with its name"snickers".
"Snicker?"eria asked as the small dog yipped slightly making the faunus cover their ears. Then it hoped up running around yipping around the new faces it seeing.
"Ughh shut that dam thing up before my ears bleed"verona said
It stopped infront of ravan tilting its head at her as the women gave a small smirk.
Ravan reached down picking the dog up as it licked her face"hmm you remind me of another little dog"she said meaning zwei as yang chuckled at that.
"Ha! What you gonna start cuddling the little guy, like you do with zwei back home"yang joked as her mother glared at her making her backoff. Weiss walked over petting the small dog on the head gushing over it.
"Well aren;t you adorable, you didn't tell me you had a dog?"weiss said petting the dog who panted a little.
Eria stood up rubbing her head"uh we did but we had to send her away to our grandmas. "She said which just made dravan face drain of color. Because soon a certain scent wafted through the air familiar to him.
"Sweeite come back here its cold you'll get lost"a sweet voice said as the man gulped nervously.
All of them turned to the doorway to see a very old women their maybe in her mid sixties. She was wearing a maroon colored long skirt that reached the ground. But she wore a deep red wool sweater with a black shull over her. Along with her having yellow eyes and grey hair that reached her shoulder. Dravan just stared at her.
The old women just stared at him as the two kept staring at each other. She soon just stepped down slowly down the stairs reaching out to touch his face.
"Dear…is..are you really my son?"she asked as her hands shook a little from the cold. Dravan had tears welling up as she placed her hand on his cheek. He placed his over heres.
"Umm uh yeah mom its us me…your big dumb lovable son"dravan spoke making the women go wide eyed. Before a small smile came over her face as tears began to escape her eyes. She just hugged the large man as he returned the gesture as his tail wagged.
"Oh my son, your alive oh i heard you died years ago"the women cried as the other felts awkward but they quickly guessed she was his adoptive mother. Dravan smiled happy to see his adoptive mother again but wonder if his brother was his.
But soon the women had a look of anger as she undid her embrace pulling him by his cheek.
"You little brat! Your family has been worried sick for the last five year"the women said in anger
"Oh their it is, guess she pretty mad at him"falk whispered to weiss who nodded holding the small yorkie in her arms as it wiggled around for a bit.
"Your not wrong but i wonder how will react"she whispered back
Dravan got pulled down on the women level as he winced"ah! Mom come on i didn't mean to make you all cry. I had my death fake beca–"Dravan tried to finish but she pulled harder on his cheeks.
"No butt young man, your family is terrible mad at you. You better have a valid excuse"the women said as calida rolled her eyes smiling removing the women hold on him as he rubbed his cheek.
"Come on now nina, drav here actually got some fantastic news right now"Calida said as the women known as nina hayley stared at her adoptive eldest son. She crossed her arms tapping her foot in anitcptation as soon verona stepped up.
"Uh yeah sorry he thought he killed your other granddaughter ma'am though um.."verona begun because she was a little nervous meeting the women despite her age she looked intimidating.
She just offered a hand"i'm verona hayley umm your daughter in law. This is our daughter Luna ."She itnroduced herself to the women surprise as she looked at the small bat faunus in her arms. Nina stared for a moment before smiling hugging the women.
"Well its about time that happened, you stopped goofing around and started a family. "Nina said as a cold wind blew through making yang shivered as she rubbed her arms for a moment.
"Uhh can we discuss this inside because its freezing out here"yang said as they nodded in agreement because it was frigid outside. They all soon got invited inside as they walked inside but once inside immediately someone gasped which just made dravan dread what happening next.
Because at the kitchen was thetis who was in the process of brewing some coco as she looked stunned right now. The nikos women was as she covered her mouth as tears escaped her eyes.
"Dravan?"thetis asked shocked as he gentled nodded as the same thing happened as the women hugged him. He sighed returning the gesture with his one arm as they all quickly got seated right now. They sat in silence as they all decided to make som introductions.
"So for starters uhh hey i'm yang xiaolong pleasure to meet ya"yang introduced herself.
Emerald gulped nerovusly"and umm i'm emerald sustari but you already knew that"she said nerovusly
Calida hand glowed red hot as she glared"i know who you are you little brat, we'll discuss how you made my duaghter go on a murder quest later"she growled in anger as she looked away from that.
"Umm well i'm bashira benkei leader of team BBNT pleasure to meet you"bashira introduced herself.
Ravan just set omen close to her sitting down"and i'm ravan xiaolong leader of the branwhen tribe, though its nice to see you again thetis"she greeted as the women hugged her before handing each of them some hot coco to warm themselves up.
"It has been a very long time since we last saw each other. "Thetis replied smiling as she wiped some tears away.
"Well its nice to see you and again"calida greeted as lazuli gave a small wave.
"Yep, though uh if you didn't know i'm lazuli also uh i'm cousin of a certain clown"lazuli said as thetis nodded already knowing her because they had news on that.
"Oh that though uh i didn't expect this was how our day to turn out"theits replied gesutirng to all their guest.
"We agolizes if were intruding but we just needed to have a place to stay"oscar replied
"Your not wrong though for starters you all stood out like a sore thumb. For starters wearing a hoodie makes you stand out like a criminal weiss"calida said looking at weiss who was caught as she looked toward the others who nodded for her to take it off. Weiss pulled her hoodie back revealing her full face and her white hair.
Yang sighed"look if your gonna turn her over to atlas we won't.."before she begun she was stopped.
"Calm down we know why her kidnapping was faked. "Thetis reassrued but it surprised them
"You know about the fake kidnapping? Huh saves us the trouble i guess"falk replied pulling weiss over close just incase to protect her.
"Yes, though we'll discuss that later as well about what to do about you being here"calida begun before looking toward adam as she steady her hand on a nearby wall containing her weapon.
"Why the hell are you with that terrosit leader from the white fang. I'm sure he would be with the fang still. So that makes us wonder… what are you doing here?"calida glared as she asked him the question.
Adam just sat their for a moment closing his good eyes as he thought for a moment before answering her question.
"To be honest ma'am…i thought after the attack on beacon i was going to go back to the white fang and start our next move but…guess thing didn't work out."adam said looking at some of the people here yang especially.
"It was with blake that knocked some sense into me, finally made me relaize my mistakes. That causing more bloodshed for faunus kind will get us nowhere in life. But someone else here has been hurt by the same person whos hurt all faunus everywhere"he said as weiss flinched a little hearing that hugging herself.
Adam took a deep breath dipping his head"that now instead i'd like to make up for my wrong doings. I want to stop that lying spider who gave an order to kill anyone who leaves. That means i'm going to havan to prevent it from falling just like becon"Adam finished his answer.
Calida face seemed to remain stoic almost like she was anaylzying along with thetis who shared glances with her. They both took account of her words then calida glanced seeing something sticking out of weiss coat a wolf tail. This surprised her but soon the two were ready to render their judgement.
"Well..for starters i'm sure sienna and kali would be happy to hear this"theits said making them go wide eyed as calida sighed smiling.
"That its also about dam time you opened your eyes."calida added making adam go wide eyed at this. Ravan just looked at them knowing they seen what she seen.
"You've noticed it too, the white fang true motivation. They don't care who they hurt as long as it gives them fear and respect. Your lucky you and your two friends got out before they crossed a certain line. If this does continue all will truly be lost for faunus everywhere"ravan finished as they sat their for a bit as adam was surprised by this but just bowed his head as a sign of respect.
"We aint gonna let that happen. If we can stop them at havan we can prevent more bloodshed from being spilled"yang said in confidence.
"Though um i'm guessing you still haven't found your sister"theits asked as eria looked down at that sighing.
"No i…we crashed in the anima when they found us. I found another family member instead of my sister"eria said looking at dravan as she smiled
"Yes, i heard what happened to her she must be very hurt. She seemed to not take little pyrrha death very well along with your others friends it sems. I heard they buried before you woke up"nina said which just upsetted eira but it made yang go wide
Calida had a distant look on her face"yeah and i'm sure some of you know what happened after the funeral. She goes out slaying grimm till morning and got hurt so bad she almost died. And its you twos dam fault she left…if she finds those people that killed pyrrha and your friend. She might cross a line that shouldn't be crossed"calida added pointing at emerald as tears welled up in her eyes.
Lazuli was all too familiar by what she meant as she gripped her hand tight as she had just crossed that line.
"Come on this is rogue were talking about, she wouldn't just kill someone she too bubbly"yang replied
Eria sighed rubbing her metal knee"your wrong, me, her and pyrrha were like sisters. She didn't care if we were related to a faunus and..she helped rogue when we thought you died"she said looking at dravan
She started to visible shake"their…their was also tanner who helped with the bullies at sanctum. He also dead and now…our own leader and her partner it dead. So many of our friends are gone because of the fall"eria said still shaking.
Yang placed a hand on her making her stop to look at her"we aint gonna let that happen. Some people here knows what happenes when your driven by revenge. "Yang said looking at emerald who looked away in shame.
Emerald took a deep breath looking at the anger calida"look..i..i..i'm sorry alright…but…me and merc weren;t the ones who suggested it. She did"she said which just made calida go wide eyed. Along with eria gasping a little that her sister was the one to suggest this.
Falk jaw dropped slightly"no way, seriously she was the one who suggested it?"he asked shocked
Dravan sighed disppaointed"guess my niece was really upset about that day. Losing that many friends including your partner will hurt you"he said but on the stairs a set of footsteps could be heard. Which made them go silent especially him as he dreaded who was coming down those stairs. Still talking on his scroll was jaki as he wasn't paying attention.
"Look tell our workers we need to get those weapons made asap. If what my source told me their are faunus ready to stand up against the white fang"jaki said into his scroll which caught adam attention a little.
Jaki rubbed his eyes annoyed once he reached the bottom as they stared at him"putting the old fang logo will make my teammate happy we did that for her. We need them done soon now, i know those thugs keep attacking. But i'll…"jaki stopped before he looked into the living room at everyone.
"I'll call you back"he said hanging up
The man was stunned to see his little girl here but he just dropped his scroll to the ground. Dravan and him exchanged stares as the jackal faunus stood up rubbing his numb.
"So uh….hey little brother nice to see you after five years. "Dravan greeted with a small smile. Jaki just stared at him as tears began to slip away then immediately he zipped over hugging the man burying his face into his chest sobbing.
"Your…your alive…god dammit you dumb bastard….where have you been"jaki cried as his voice cracked as dravan just sighed wrapping his one arm around him as he let a few tears loose.
"I'm sorry little brother, i'll…i'll tell yah later. If you want i'll let you beat the snot out of me. Like old times"Dravan cried as his tail wagged happy to see his brother again. The two hayley brother just sat in the embrace crying for a bit until separating as the man looked at his daughter before walking over hugging her.
"It seems my daughter brought back my dumb brother instead of her sister"jaki coldly said as eria returned it happy to see him again.
"I did, i guess mom told you that me and her kidnapping where faked?"eria asked as he nodded before he just had the brightest smile form on his face.
"She did but uh surprised to see you rae…and uh adam tarrus"jaki said as he glared at the boy as his hands slowly became covered in ice. The man first instinct was to grab him but as he did someone stood in his way that being lazuli and weiss.
"Whoa chill out mr.H for starters this guy doesn't mean any harm"lazuli reassured as weiss nodded
"She right hes actually here to help us, please don't turn him in"weiss begged as her coat ruffled slightly. Jaki just stared him down before closing his eyes before compsong himself but still had a bright smile.
"Okay whats with you smiling all of a sudden, seriously you that happy your brother is alive"falk asked
"I am…but uh dear i have bad news, your aren't your teams leader anymore"jaki said to eria as they were confused by that.
"What are you talking about, that gri…leader of her is dead"bashira replied
"She right, along with the lancer knight we encountered in the anima and the one during the fall. "Adam supported but the man just pulled his scroll out hooking it up to the tv.
"Actually um three of them are dead that being the nevermore, sabyr and that lancer knight. But um…i saw someone in vale. He left you another video message"jaki said which made them intrigue but eria just stared at the tv. Soon he hooked it up as he just pressed play on a button.
They all watched on the tv as soon it turned to static and it showed the inside of a barracks it seems. But sitting on a cot staring at the camera right now was zane who had his hands collapsed together.
Yang went wide eyed"uhhh okay are we seeing thing or is their a dead guy on screen?"she asked poitning at the tv.
"Your not wrong, because i don't ever recall him wearing that"weiss added shocked a little.
Lazuli nodded as she had tears welling up"yeah…my…my cousin dead…this has to be fake. Quit messing with me"lazuli said choking on her words but jaki looked at her with a serious face.
"This isn't faked, just please listen to the video."he advised as they sat in silence for a bit until zane decided to finally speak as he rubbed his face.
"So um for starters uh surprise i'm actually alive, yah. But if your seeing this its because i kinda guessed some of you might head to argus. Mainly hoping my two teammates see this too because you'll wanna beat the snot of me next time you see me"he spoke as eria just had tears beginning to slip away as her lips quivered into a smile.
Bashira noticed the date of the video"holy crap..this was few days ago"she stated as the video continued.
"Though for where i've been, i've been in a coma for the last month, apparently wol…onxyia brother was in the city. Xan saved me before i died after adder gutted me, i recently woke up in vale. And i heard that we lost alot of our friends…which really hurts right now"zane said as he wiped his eyes for a moment. But ravan eyed his seeing no crimson at all, but noticed the dark bags.
Weiss looked surrpsied hearing this"Wait..he..he was in a coma, that where hes been for the past month"she said baffled.
"Huh guess my fellow punkmaker lives, though uh hope he took our friends death okay"yang said
Jaki looked down"he…he did, but your friends probably not doing so great emotional with whats happen. Everyone has treated that boy very harshly"he replied
"Did…did something happen?"lazuli asked but has tears still present smiling because her cousin was actually alive.
"Nothing just that everyone treat him with hatred is all"he replied but he didn't want to tell them what that doctor told him. The video continued
"But um for starters if the twins see this i'm…so fricking sorry for that video . You two will wanna beat me up next time you see me…i'll allow it. Though good news is.."before he spoke someone popped in from the side interutpeding him.
"That good news is that we managed to remove all those mental suggestion in his head"vance said popping into the video catching lazuli offguard seeing her brother. But they sat their listening to that part taking it in.
"Wait…your telling us those dumb command phrases are gone?"falk said shocked smiling.
Eria just smiled again still crying"he..he can't be controlled anymore…seriosuly my eyes are going to hurt tonight"She said
Yang pumped the air"nice guess that creepy mustached guy can't control him"she said gleefully happy to hear that. But some of them wondered if he was actually himself as the video continued.
"Alright for one you bombed my video, second i wanted to say that. Thirdly if your wondering why i'm not with . We needed to head to menagerie that jerk alpha was sent their to kill our friends there. But don't worrie we're on our way to stop him…but uh hope to see you at havan. Don't punch me too hard or kill me…and I'm sorry"he said as the video ended as they took what they heard just in. But yang eyes sunk into her skull scared right now.
"Did he say that crazy grimm was sent to kill my girlfirned?!"yang shouted as adam looked away in shame of the mention of his ex name.
Lazuli just covered her face"no..no little sis might be dead…we..we need to get their now"she demanded but jaki sighed.
"Its too late the attack was slated for yesterday but don't worrie. Apparently some of your friends from beacon are with him. They aren't making any stops and for starters we need to also tell you all something carefully"he said as he looked at the letter on the table they got early.
Calida nodded"yes, because early this morning we received a letter from a reliable source that you might wanna hear"she answered as she presented the letter but adam noticed the angina that was on the leter.
'A letter from the white fang? Why would they send you a letter"adam asked
"Not them but someone within the fang. We help keep tabs for sienna and ghira since they retired"jaki replied
Eria was surprised still by all this taking it in"Are you saying you have spies within their ranks?"she asked
Ravan cupped her chin rubbing it"that means you might know when their planning to attack correct?"she asked
"Extactly its nothing good i'll tell you. From what they said they moved up their schedule about to a month to attack havan. Also it says that ollie has teamed up with knuckleduster, crimson talon and grimm knights. One that resembles a king tajtu"jaki stated
"That gives us decent info i guess but another creepy knight great"falk said annoyed
"They got help but with some of our warriors heading their will be fine. But lets hope your friend can rescue the faunus their"verona replied but it made yang worry especially right now.
"Extactly we got a letter from kali today asking for ships for transportation and some weapons. But my husband already started on that after arriving today"calida replied
"Good but whats our plan now, because we still need to get to havan"bashira reminded
"Well the only way their rigth now is by train. The military is preventing anyone from traveling anywhere from argus. Saying its for repairs which isn't the case"thetis stated
"Probably a grimm knight attacking the trains i'm guessing, but pretty bold of them to do that"lazuli added
"Not exactly. It makes things harder for people that have family that are in mistral and they would have to take longer route which risk them running into grimm or worse bandits"jaki replied
"That would be worse. That means our trip here was wasted"weiss grunted as her tail thrashed under her coat.
Verona thought for a moment"we can't take any alternative routes with the winter just around the corner. If we head east we'll be heading into snow covered forest that will take us weeks to cross if we wanna get to mistral.
Alot of them mentally groaned espcieally weiss trying to figure out why they kept people from traving from argus to mistral. Their are a few ways the military can hault travel that would be order from the argus council, the train needing repairs, grimm attack or influx of them on rotues. But she needed to figure it out.
"Wait if the train station could work again we can get to where we need to go"weiss replied
"Uhh duh whats your point"yang replied
Calida ooked at her as she had a thoughtful look on her face.
"Dear what are you planning?"she asked
Weiss got up from her seat"i'm going to have a word with whoever in charge of the base"weiss replied which made everyone froze.
"Are you insane?!"emerald asked
"Yeah if they find out who you are they'll send you back to atlas without a second thought. "Falk added worried
"I know but its our only chance we've got. If we can find the cause of them stopping the train then we can proceed to argus."weiss added.
"Oh and how you gonna do that for starters you aint a huntresses and they'll believe you"verona added
"Not exactly that but not if the mighty ravan branwhen accompys me along with oscar"weiss replied as they stared at each other for a bit before ravan smiled.
"That wouldn't be a bad idea, they'll reccognize the hayley since they live here. Tarrus would attract the entire miltary. "Ravan said
"Oscar would be a good choice. New face, completely unrecgonziable. Though you should be careful to weiss. They can't know your a fuanus now"adam stated firmly catching them offguard.
"Umm what are you talking about shes a schnee shes no faunus"thetis stated but weiss groaned before pulling her coat off to reveal a white bushy arctic wolf tail. Calida looked at her weird before stroking it making weiss jump.
"Oh my god its real!"calida screeched as nina was very surprised to hear all this.
Jaki blinked for a bit"how in the name of remnant did this happen?"jaki asked as weiss dug through her pocket pulling out the faunus heart.
"Well i explored a cave in the anima for a bit then my blood dropped onto this. I'm now cursed to be a faunus but uh i really don't mind"Weiss replied as they decided to leave the house but bashira and lazuli joined them. Once they left they all decided to just talk it seems.
The five walked down the path toward the argus military base at a rather slow pace as they took in some of scenery that was around them as weiss kept her hood up.
"I'm kinda jealous of this place. Such rich history and the architecture is very unique as well."oscar said
"Yeah i know right little sis always wanted to visit here because of it"lazuli replied but was very worried about her after what she heard.
"Argus was home to a great many warriors and before it became a city it was but a small village that grew in the years"ozpin said in his mind
"Wow"oscar said
"Talking to ozpin?"ravan asked as he nodded
"Yeah he just telling me everything what argus used to be. Honestly i feel like i should already know that but at the same time i'm learning something new. Its weird"oscar replied as ravan chuckled at that.
"Your not the first, his last bodie had the same experience. It still amazes me sometimes what he knows"ravan replied
"Yeah especially that he knew my great ancestors"bashira added
The five continued their silent walk to the base in sigh but the base was in sight even where they were standing. Soon it became awkward as oscar started some conversation.
"So um weiss…what was it like living in atlas"oscar asked as ravan, lazuli and bashira stared at him.
"Oscar! That is quite a sensitive subject for her. You can't just ask"ozpin scolded him.
"Kid that kinda a touchy subject because of her dirtbag father"lazuli spat.
"Its fine…you want my honest opinion. It…was difficult and that putting it rather mildly. There are two places in solitas that separate each other. Atlas the city that float in the air and mantle the one that struggles. While everyone says atlas is a great city that was ever built. Social status up their means everything. If your not from a wealthy family then your nothing but dirt. It also…quite cold,not just the place but the people as well"weiss said
"I only ran into a few kind souls but that was very few. But my father jacque who married into my family for nothing more than the money, the company and the schnee name. I lived with him for years until i went to beacon"weiss continued as she smiled
"Their i could actually be my own person and not listen to his rules. It felt nice to be free…but i do hope my brothers are okay right now. Wren especially"weiss added
"Was he that bad of a father"oscar asked
Lazuli growled"she got the scars to prove it, lets hope those detectives are using the evidence to good use"she said
Ravan nodded placing a hand on weiss shoulder"i'm sure your brother will be fine, but if were pulling this off you may need to use your name"she said as they began to approach the gate of the military base. Almost immeidailty guards on the other side approach them.
"Hault! No civlians are allowed here!"the guard stated
"Really? Not even if your captain will speak to leader of the branwhen tribe?"ravan asked making the guard go slack jaw who was infront of her.
"But..uh ma'am were sorry but cordovin has no business with you right now!"the second guard stated. That when weiss played her trump card as she took her hoodie off pulling it back revealing her fce.
"Then tell her weiss schnee and ravan branwhen are here to speak with her."weiss state firmly. The guards jaw slacked open seeing who were infront of them.
Well. go get her! Now!"weiss shouted as the guards fumblded as they left their post to get their captain.
"We sure this is going to work?"oscar asked
"Oh i think it will. Be nice to see my grandma again"bashira casually replied making them look at her.
"Wait the captain here you grandma?!"lazuli shouted as she nodded but after fives minutes soon the two guards returned with their chain of command but she was rather short.
"Ah. miss schnee and a pleasure to see you. Along with my granddaughter"the women replied as she hugged bashira who returned it
"Grandma caroline, its so great to see you again"bashira replied undoing the embrace.
"Yes, caroline cordovin and i'm also incharge of this base. Though i'm honored to meet both of you"caroline stated
"I wouldn't flatter yourself. Though their is something we wanna ask of you commander"weiss said
"Would you like to arrange some transportation for you to return home. I'm certain your parents miss you dearly. You could also say hello to your sister here"cordovin replied
Weiss glared at her dispprobingly but hearing winter was here intrigued her.
"No. i want to know why the military isn't allowing train to leave or enter argus"weiss questioned.
"I'm afraid miss schnee we cannot answer that at this given time"one guard replied
Ravan narrowed her gaze"so what your telling us the mighty cordovin can't combat it. I may be a tribe leader but i'm also a huntress. Along with your grandaughter and miss schnee here. After these two helped bring her to me for safe passage"she said gesutring to oscar and lazuli.
"She right me and my buddie here found some thugs holding her and that hayley heiress hostage. Brought her to her parents already"lazuli replied going with the ruse.
"Why that excellent news to hear one of the heiress has returned home. But we've received report about sudden energy surges on the tracks. I sent men to investigate it but came up with nothing like they don't even know where to look"codovin replied
"And this energy surge is on the tracks. You think it could a be grimm or one of those knights?"weiss replied
"Were not exactly sure but with recent reports three of the thirteen are dead. Though i wouldn't want to impose a task on miss schnee, could be suited for it"codovin said
"Non at all. I'd be happy to help with this siutaton"weiss added
"Yes, and we have more news another one was recently dispatched by our tribe. The lancer knight"avan somberly said as cordovin just seemed overjoyed by this.
"Ah nothing less i expect from your tribe, i have heard of part of them leaving to become bandits. "She said as they decided to take their leave but she spoke again.
"The quicker this situationis handled the better. Though i do have one question to ask miss schnee?"cordovin asked.
"And what would that be?"weiss said
"Woudl you like us to contact your parents to let them know your safe. certainly your father would be worried about what happened being kidnapped . Would you like us to let him know?"cordovin asked
Weiss was first torn weather or not jacque should know she was alive or not. Her other half keeps telling her that her father deserve to not know that she was alive and have him worry constantly, if he even cared for her. But another part wanted to let her actually family know.
"No. he doesn;t need to know anything right now. I'd prefer that they didn't right now"weiss said as she and the other four left the military base leaving behind a rather shocked commander and her guards.
"You really thing they'll abide by what you say?"oscar said
"Nope. more likely grandma will call him if they aren't doing it right now"bashira said as weiss wasn't bother the slightest as they made their way back to the hayleys.
A moment later they soon returned to the house as the other were just telling something to jaki it seems. But he just looked at them with a cool level head.
"Ah so your talking about what that spine scar your friend has. Hmm that makes sense but last i saw he was wearing that bracelet."jaki replied which made eria sigh in relief.
"Oh thank remnant if hes wearing that dumb trinket it can't take control"eria said still smiling her leader was alive.
"That great…wish meli had that then she would still be here"verona replied upset still about her best friends death. Ravan soften her gaze sighing walking in placing a hand on her shoulder.
